Works perfect and has great range!!! I would definitely buy again

Fairly complex unit, with many modern options for prioritizing gaming and protecting the network.

Was looking for a router with good coverage that could handle multiple devices (family of 6). Was recommended this Asus RT-AC3100 router. Worked great for mounting vertically on wall and able to move antennas. After a couple days of hooking up it quit sending out 5ghz wifi, turned off & turned back on, working. After another day quit sending 2.4ghz wifi, turned off & back on, working. After another day quit working completely, power light on and that's it, turned off & back on multiple times, pushed reset button ... nothing, dead. Returned and exchanged for another one, hooked up, after 4 days of working fine Internet stopped working, it stopped communicating with my modem. Called Asus support, took like 10 minutes just to go through automated system to get to router support, then on hold listening to some guy say how good Asus is and their products, but nothing saying I'm on hold waiting for the next available representative, so put phone on speaker and waited to see if somebody answered. After several minutes got customer support. They said there was a firmware update causing the communication issue and I needed to install the previous version of firmware. They emailed me a link to the firmware and instructions. Did what it said trying on my Mac and a Windows computer, kept getting Firmware install failed. Called back to Asus support, remembered prompts (5, 3, I believe) and was much faster. Talked to a new person, told me I had to be hard wired to the modem, which the previous person and instructions didn't mention. Tried but still got same failed message. Support then told me to return to Best Buy which I did. I'm done with Asus and going to give the Netgear X6 a try, which is the one I was going to buy originally until the Asus was recommended. I didn't like the parental controls on the Asus either, you couldn't blanket the controls, you had to add controls as each device was added to the router, which when the kids have friends over with their devices becomes a pain to go in and add parental controls, and can only have a total of 16 devices on parental controls. With adding parental controls to my devices that have internet access, 3 smart tvs, 4 smart DVD players, 4 iPhones, iPod, 4 tablets, 4 computers I'm beyond the 16 devices ....

The router was very easy to setup but the interface could be a little more user friendly.

I upgraded my router based on reviews. This one is much faster. Downloads and connection is great!

Got this router with a pretty good deal. The interface is pretty user friendly and easy to set up.

I have owned a lot of routers this is the best, easy to set up no dropped wifi it's the best

Haven’t had any problems internet seems to be working fast and great

Super fast, made everything run much smoother. Our whole house is automated and this made a world of difference.

Great router, has really increased my download and upload speeds also signal reaches back to by bedroom, love it

easy out of box setup. connected without problem with other asus routers and wireless devices

Never failed on me. Very strong signal which I can compare to a commercial grade Motorola AP8232 :)

The AC3100 was a great up grade from the previous unit (not an AC3100). With the previous unit As I increased the number of items on the network I noticed it starting to lag when there was a higher usage. I also noticed as it aged it didn't seem to cover as much area on the wireless side. The AC3100 covers much larger wireless area and had a much better bandwidth. It is definitely a good quality signal.

Finally found the router to cover all my home without any dry spots. Better than I expected.

By far the best router I've ever had! Pros - Easily check Internet traffic. - Multiple devices connected with no issues. - Great GUI to see a detailed view of your internet broken down. Cons - Only con I've seen so far is that remotely accessing the router isn't super easy. - Also that the GUI has a lot of features so it's not as user-friendly. But that is how I like it.

Rivals some commercial Cisco devices. very reliable, ASUS has been a trusted name for decades, Ask any IT guy...

Excellent router. Easy install, easy to use. Works great.

solid range and power for WAN; and the set-up is just about foolproof

I bought it for my wife and she has no regrets. Works very well and the grand kids like it also.

Upgraded our home network, and this provided lots of capacity with dual band, and improved our speed. The web-based interface is easy to use, and to track usage, set controls, etc. Also, love the "lights off" button easily accessed on front. Can turn off, so I am not bothered at night, but if I am troubleshooting, can easily switch it back on to see what is working.
